So I’m taking a couple of days off from work and that usually means that I don’t check things like mail or RSS feeds–its an AM with coffee sort of thing–so I feel a tad blindsided by the news from the Tokyo Game Show regarding Nintendo. I had a feeling that they would hold true to their statement that gaming needs to evolve and, well, I wasn’t expecting it to start a whole new trunk. Frankly, I’m not sure what to think about the revolutions controller. I’m stunned, shocked, horrified, excited, and a tad giddy all at once.
Judge for yourself:
You can read more about it, including impressions of the tech demo and the raving lunacy of fanboys from all camps at Joystick, 4 color rebellion, Gamespot, and IGN. As for myself, I’m cautiously optimistic and am looking forward to when I might be able to try the unit out for myself.
I love it. Have you seen the video? I’ll email you a link.
Just a grainy, shaky-cam one from Germany. Yours was much nicer and has me very excited. Even though it was a marketing video with no game play demonstrated I can see the potential. Pre-order looks to be what I’ll be doing when it is available.
